Patient's question:
My relative often suffers from constipation. In the past, they would drink senna leaf tea, but recently, a friend told me that drinking senna leaf is harmful to the stomach and intestines, so my relative has stopped drinking it. Constipation is really uncomfortable, and drinking honey every day hasn't helped either. Now, are there any home remedies for constipation? What are the best home remedies for treating constipation?Doctor's answer:
Long-term use of senna leaves for purgation can make habitual constipation worse, making it difficult to pass stools. It is recommended to change your dietary structure, incorporating more vegetables and fruits. For example, consume at least one pound of vegetables daily, along with one dragon fruit or two kiwis. Reduce the intake of greasy and fried foods. Persistence for a period of time will yield results. Relying on medication is not sustainable in the long run. Currently, taking oral Mahen Runtian pills can provide relief.
